Led lighting for specific sports

Football

Recreational football is usually practiced in the afternoon and good lighting ensures players and the public enjoy the game. The fluxes required for football that is not televised are normally smaller than those required for one that is televised. However, the lighting must be of high quality in terms of visual comfort, uniformity, and annoying light prevention.

Tennis

When installing sports LED lighting on a tennis court, priority number 1 is good visibility. This ensures players good visibility of the ball, regardless of where they are located or the speed of the game. The public can also follow the progress of the match.

Rugby

In a rugby field, the lighting must provide uniform lighting along with the entire court. The ball needs to be clearly visible to the players and the light should not affect the players, the referees or the public.

Hockey

In a hockey court, having high levels of fluxes is very important as players are expected to react quickly to the rapid movement of the ball. This sport demands an adequate distribution of light and a color temperature similar to the cold.

Golf

Lighting installed on golf courses should bring clear visibility of the markers to the players. Players must also be able to see how the ball moves. The entire golf course should be well lit and tree-covered areas should be lit separately from the rest.

Athletics

Good lighting allows athletes to see any situation that is occurring in the training area or in the competition; This way they can perform well. During the competition, high-quality lighting allows judges, referees, and the public to see what is happening and track the performance of athletes on the field of play. The public can also enter and leave sports facilities with more security.

Softball and Baseball

These 2 fast sports need high levels of lighting so that the movement and the action of the ball can be followed. Because most of the actions take place in a part of the playing field, this specific place needs more lighting than the rest of the field.

Playing fields

Normally the courts are designed for many sports. The electricians who install the lighting in those fields must consider all the requirements of the different sports that will take place in that space. The lighting should be uniform and light pollution and the reflection should be minimized.

Stadiums with LED lighting use between 40-75% less electricity and produce the same lumens as metal halogen lamps. The LED lighting can generate more light to the floor thanks to its optical and variety of angles of light. LED artifacts also immediately achieve greater brightness unlike HID lighting, which takes time to warm up. These have a high CRI (color reproduction index) and provide a clear distinction of objects and colors, eliminating flickering. This is very important when sports are broadcast on high definition quality (HD) television.

Avoid annoying light

The annoying lighting has 3 characteristics: reflection, glare and diffused light. To avoid this light, lighting experts generally use specific lights and adequate distribution of lighting fixtures to ensure that the light goes where it belongs. High posts are good for brightening evenly and reducing glare and out of focus lights.

However, as the towers are taller, the effective projected area becomes more crucial. (EPA). This term is used in the lighting industry to indicate how much pressure a luminaire puts on the mounting tower or lighting pole at specific wind speed.

The LED lighting for sports that we commercialize in LedTecnología has a high performance by artifact, before each project that is presented our specialists perform a detailed analysis regarding the lighting needs, offering the best solution at the lowest possible cost.

Add Lighting Controls

Lighting controls became very important and advance with technology. There are controls that can be programmed remotely, used without needing to be in the space in question and some can program work schedules. The LED dimmers also made progress and some new generations of LEDs can be dimmed without losing color, producing irregular lighting or flickering. (which affects TV broadcasting)

Some sports have retractable roofs that allow being illuminated during the day. However, these areas may need additional lighting in some instances, such as when the weather is not good. Multipurpose stadiums and areas for sports that only televise some games may require different levels of lighting or dimmable lighting. The most important thing about the LEDs is that they can be dimerized and will not blink, and the light output will slowly decrease over time. The same cannot be said when we talk about lighting with high-pressure sodium lamps or metal halogens.
